Seriously. Honestly. No, I'm not kidding.
Move over King Billy, there's a new hero in town

Maybe they'll call him 'Sash Gordon', the new Orange Order superhero who can fly like a bird or a plane - or a flag fluttering in the wind of change on the Twelfth.
His feet won't have to touch the ground - on the Garvaghy Road or anywhere else - as he spreads the Orange message to order.
Our loyal friend, with the cheesy grin, the bright orange body suit, the quiff of orange hair, the purple cape and purple star on his barrel chest, is out to change the image of the order.
The Orange lodge are updating, and have decided to enlist the above chap to do so.
He replaces the more traditional William III:
Does anyone think this will work for them?
Or will it, as the residents of the slam forum reckon, backfire horribly across the web?
(that thread has actually become a comedy goldmine for other reasons now, but lets not get distracted)
But more importantly, what should he be called? Captain Billy? The O-Ranger? Sash-man? Cuchulain?
Apparently 'Orangeman' has been deemed too obvious already...
